fiction-is-not-reality2:olderthannetfic:holyscream:olderthannetfic:I see tags like this so often, and I want to be like “Did you not notice the porn ban?” Tumblr isn’t dying in the sense that there’s news or it will die tomorrow. It’s dying in the sense that if you’ve been on the internet since the 90s, you know what the lifecycle of sites looks like, and Tumblr has peaked and is on its way down.There are a few different blog-saving tools. I haven’t really checked them out since 2018 though. The most obvious one is Tumblr’s built-in export tool. Hope you don’t mind me hopping onto this, but in case anyone could use some pointers: Tumblr’s own export toolGo to your account settings on the webpage and select the blog you want to export. Scroll down to the “Export” section and click the “Export [blog name]” button. Depending on your language settings the buttom might have a strangely worded label, but you shouldn’t be able to miss it.Depending on the amount of posts on you blog the process can take a while; when I used it for my 40,000 post main it took about a week, but that might have changed now.Full Tutorial in the Tumblr Help Center TumblThreeI personally use TumblThree to do weekly backups of my blogs as well as archive some prompt/reference/research blogs. It has a GUI (a user interface) and you can run it with two clicks after setting up your blog list and the types of media/posts you want to include in the different backups. It’s also open source. However it is (currently?) only for downloading backups, not viewing them, meaning you’ll have a bunch of downloaded files that you’ll have to figure out how to render as posts yourself. If you search “TumblThree Viewer” you might find some code to help you with that.GitHub · Tutorial for TumblrThree setup by sinjara tumblr-utilsI’ve heard good things about tumblr-utils too, although I’ve not used it. I believe it’s command-line only, but it does apparently create backups you can view in your browser like Tumblr’s built-in tool does.GitHub Thanks!I have about 12k posts on my main and it only took an hour or something for the download to be ready yesterday.I recall there used to be some other lower-tech options, but they’re probably all dead by now. For tumblr-utils, refer back to the post (+1) (+2) I made before the purge. I’ve been using it to back up my blog ever since. -- source link
